I don't get it


Why would a designer of high end speakers dis recommend the use of after market footers for the use of vibration control under his speakers? The speaker in question has lousy little rubber pads under them and is sitting on carpet. I actually wrote to the speaker maker for suggestions and got his recommendation to not use anything extra.

Milpai, I'm reading anything and everything I can re various footers. I've also been reading the threads here. So yes, I am interested in user experience. The speakers did not come with anything else. I contacted the manufacturer for
any input, thinking that perhaps they've tried various products under their speakers. The 'don't use anything' response came as somewhat of a shock. I'm not asking about footers per se but rather wondering why a speaker maker would say such a thing. It makes no sense. Perhaps it will remain a mystery.
Thanks for the input and comments. The carpet is on an oak floor.I've decided to place 1 inch thick non resonant stone tile (perhaps granite) under the speakers and raise the speakers at all 4 corners with cones of some sort.
